Okay, so

there should be some

sort of system that counts the amount

of times that a person withdraws from a specific queue, and after reaching

a specific amount of withdraws within a specific amount of time, they should be penalized heavily.
Like, if you withdraw 3 times in less than

10 minutes, you get a 24 hour lock-out from anything in the DF.

Maybe not 24h, but the same 30 min penalty as if they left would be good, except if they are on a cutscene or something, then it would be harsh.

This topic is beating a dead horse, it's been one of the most discussed topics since I can remember. I'm fairly certain we haven't had an official response from SE on it yet, though.

That being said, a 24-hour lockout from everything on DF is laughable and makes it seem like you're just speaking out of anger, not with your head. I hope you aren't actually serious.

At most, I think a 2 hour lockout from that specific dungeon would be sufficient.

[Pyreflye]

24-hour is definitely excessive, but I'd definitely like to see some kind of punishment for these people.
I have met tanks who say they do it for fun. Just queue for a popular dungeon for an instant queue, then withdraw. Rinse and repeat. Total d*ckheads.

30-60 minute penalty sounds appropriate to me. Not just that dungeon though, as Winter Solstice suggested.
That'd give them free reign to just do it to another one.

Lockout from EVERYTHING!

[Pantz]

They should do what Rift does. If you queue and withdraw 8 times consecutively, you instantly get the same penalty as leaving a dungeon.

[Wylde]

I don't think its the same person though? I mean if its gathering from a huge pool and 10 different people withdraw say from ST it would do no good to punish since it wouldn't even be the same person doing it and this would just happen anyways right ?

[Kydi]

Dependent on the role it could be the same person (a healer or tank fishing for an in progress group for instance).

I would have no issue applying the same 30 minute penalty to constant withdrawals (perhaps 3) but a full day is laughable. Half an hour would discourage people from fishing, or at least limit it, especially given that the dungeon can be run in about 30 minutes.

[Adler]

I doubt that same person could withdraw for 3 or more times within 10 minutes but if someone truly is THAT much retarded then could just set the same 30 min penalty as for leaving already started dungeon.

There was. It was wayyyy back last year, around September or October, in regards to people fishing for in-progress AK runs for there Philosophy Tome farming. Unfortunately, the Dev Tracker only seems only goes to the last 400 posts, and the general forums go back almost 1000 pages, so I can't find it to link, but it was something along the lines of "not limiting the ability to queue and drop from queue in order to find a specific instance to help out your friends."

I don't see why they just don't let us join the instance and let the party build up inside the sealed circle
